KILLEEN, Texas — U.S. Army veteran, Jessica Langford, sits in her Killeen home watching a video of herself testifying before the Texas Senate Committee on Veteran Affairs and Border Security.  
"I am a victim of military sexual trauma (MST),” explained Langford in the video. "I was raped in Afghanistan in 2009 by my commander, and when it came out that I was pregnant from the assault, the commander basically got a slap on his wrist."
After Spc. Vanessa Guillén’s disappearance from Fort Hood last year, the hashtag “I am Vanessa Guillén” began tending, heightening awareness for MST stories.
